I'm not sure on exactly which teams need to win and lose for that to happen, but it'll be complicated.
Shouldn't it be this??TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAMIf it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.Two Clubs1. Head-to-head, if applicable.2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

They're both 7-8 overall and 6-5 In the Conference.To break a tie for a Wild Card Team (3 or more teams)Three or More Clubs1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants. - Irrelevant for the Giants and Packers, but the Panthers would eliminate the Falcons because of a better divisional record should everyone win out.2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.) - Giants and Packers never played each other, nobody owns a win over all other 4 teams3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. - Giants and Packers have the same Conference Record, Carolina, and St. Louis have worse, therefore they would be eliminated.4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. - Common Games would be Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, and New Orleans. Both teams have a 1-4 record against those teams assumeing the Packers win in Week 17.5. Strength of victory. - Right now it's NY Giants .438, Green Bay .314. This is why the Giants would be the 6th Seed Right Now and the Packers would just miss out, however this can change so it is possible that the Packers would win the Strength of Victory tiebreaker over the Giants, just unlikely.In reality, best chance for the Packers to make the playoffs is if they win, the Giants lose, and then one of the following happens - St Louis Loses- Atlanta Wins- Carolina Wins
